Easy set up. Don’t like the battery life. Like that it is weather proof and high quality

I’ve been using Nest for years. Way back to the beginning. It’s always been a solid performer and you get a lot of bang for your buck with the subscription. What I do not like as of the last couple of years is Google doing what Google does best and forcing migration into their app. This camera setup is part of Googles new push to force you the user into using their app. No longer can you use these new cameras with the very good Nest app. I avoided buying these new cameras for the sole purpose of not wanting to use Googles terrible Home app. But my Nest “Legacy” cameras started failing and you can no longer buy them so I really had no other choice if I wanted to continue to use Nest cameras. Other than the terrible Google app, the cameras still work just as good as the legacy cameras. Keep in mind they are all now battery powered, out of the box. And if you want immediate, live video access you are forced to buy an extra power cable for plug in. Classic Google money grab. Operationally wise, it’s still got Nest at its heart so I’ll continue to use them until Google does something totally unacceptable. If you’re reading this Google, fix your terrible app. It’s horrid.

The Google Nest Cam is an absolute game-changer for home security! Its sleek design seamlessly blends into my living space while delivering impeccable video quality. The ease of setup and integration into the Google ecosystem is impressive. I love the mobile app, which allows me to check in on my home from anywhere. The two-way audio feature adds an extra layer of convenience and security. Whether it's monitoring my pets or keeping an eye on my front door, the Nest Cam provides peace of mind. The price is reasonable for the value it offers, making it a top-tier choice for anyone prioritizing home security.

The Google Outdoor Camera offers reliable surveillance with crisp video quality. Its weather-resistant design ensures durability, while seamless integration with Google ecosystem enhances user experience. The intuitive app allows easy remote monitoring, and features like motion detection and two-way audio add to its functionality. However, a slightly higher price point might deter budget-conscious consumers. Overall, a solid choice for those invested in the Google ecosystem seeking a dependable outdoor security solution.

One of the best looking cameras for the price, these two cameras have great sensors and night vision. Very easy to mount and the app is very easy to navigate

We currently have a wired camera system and has served us well for 6 years. Unfortunately, it's beginning to show it's age with a few malfunctions. Replacing the cameras with new ones is not an option; too old and out-of-date. So, in our search, I chose to purchase the Nest Cam Battery. The picture is great! However, the battery only lasts less than 3 weeks. It's placed at the front of our house, so it does capture quite a bit of activity. I'm sure it would be even more if we didn't live in a cul-de-sac and probably lower battery life. On the lighter side of this, you can purchase the optional power supply BUT you have to have an outlet nearby.

IL residents waste battery life without familiar face recognition. Convenient that can be charged manually rather that running power. However battery life only 3 weeks if trafficked area without friendly face detection which I assume would save battery life. Picture quality is good though rarely quite high res enough to get license plates of passing Cars

I added these to my nest outdoor cameras i already had. I dont like the google home app. I wish they would let you use the nest app. However the picture quality is fantastic. Day or night. The sound is ok. Motion detection is set for people only and i do get a lot of false alerts. I am still adjusting but it picks up shadows of cars or trees moving in the wind sometimes as a person. Still, it is great for the money. I have one plugged in and one on battery. Id expect the battery to last probably 60 days before needing to be charged. I plan on running a wire to it, just havent had time yet to drill into the wall. Overall i do recommend this for most applications.

A really good quality pair of cameras that are let down by two things. Continuous recording is only available if they are plugged into power, which defeats the point of a 'wireless' camera. The battery life is not great, either. Otherwise, the picture quality is excellent and easy to use and install.

They are really good but the use of the google home app is not the best I wish they were still accessible from the nest app but still very good quality and easy of use and set up is very easy

I love the Google Nest Cam for my back yard. The picture is great ... but, the camera had to be charged sooner than I expected. I bought a long extension cord so it would be easier to charge without taking camera down to charge.

Must have to keep eyes on the house. Paired with solar power panels and never have to pull them down to charge. We have 5 cameras and all have been flawless.

I already own 2 Nest IQ Outdoor Cameras which I totally love. Should have done a little more research. The battery cams only work with the Google Home App and not the Nest App which my IQ cameras are on along with my Nest Thermostat. The battery cameras only record when there is some type of activity unlike the Outdoor IQ cameras which record continuously. Yes you can hardwire the battery cameras to get continuous recording which I did but that kind of defeats the battery option. I realize that the battery cameras don't record 24/7 to conserve battery life. The Nest Aware subscription is also different on the battery cameras compared to the Nest IQ Outdoor cameras. If I had it to do all over again I would have got 2 more IQ cameras since I had to hardwire the battery cameras anyway.

These are very well built cameras that offer clear images and sound. However, they need to be recharged too frequently for my use, and so I returned them.

Google Nest Cam Battery seems like Beta as there seems to be issues of many kinds.Ibought the 2 pack and can only get 1 going.There seems to be many issues similar to this.I wan't worried about past Nest Cams because i didn't have any.the first Camera went smooth and I like the ease of mounting.No wires gives you many options on location.Make sure to mount higher than you can reach but not so high that you can not get to it to recharge Now the second cam not so much.It is still not setup.I did resets and even made a 2ND Home network out of desperation=NOPE.Going in I read all of the issues but i bet on Google doing updates to fix and improve the experience.I think the other camera options might be a better choice right now.I am hoping Google does do the updates to polish this up a bit.Recommended only if you want to get something to keep it all in the Home Network AND believe Google will step up.

Easy setup and integration into the home app. Like the easy installation on my house. Battery life varies depending on the event settings. the camera in my backyard I have only charged once a month the one over my front yard looking towards the road is every 2 weeks. I am happy with that. GOod picture quality

It’s very sleek and convenient to instal and connect. But it misses a lot of events while capturing others in less important areas. Even though you can select fields to increase sensitivity. There doesn’t seem to be any consistency with what it detects. It also can take a long time to connect to my phone which I don’t understand. I also have blink cameras on the interior which are plugged in for electricity but connect to wifi. I never have a problem waiting for those to connect.

I’ve been using this outdoor camera for a few months now, and I’m really impressed. The video quality is super clear both day and night, and the motion detection works exactly as advertised. I like that I can check the live feed straight from my phone—it loads quickly and gives me peace of mind when I’m away.

Love our Google cameras much more than the previous Arlo cameras that we had. Cameras are clear and work well with our Google home app and interior display. Price of the cameras along with the solar panels is quite high but worth every penny.
